Subject: CP/M 2.2 source code officially released

Caldera  (the final copyright holder to all the Digital Research 
software)  have finally authorized the release of the source  and 
binaries  to the DRI CP/M software,  including CP/M 2.2 and  3.0. 
Everything which is extant (see below) is available for  download at
http://cdl.uta.edu/cpm
The  reason  I  say "everything which is extant" is  that  Novell 
(which originally inherited all the DRI software) managed to lose 
*all*  of the original source magtapes which DRI had handed  over 
to  them!  All that is left is what people had  (surreptitiously) 
managed to copy over the years.  Caldera has declared an amnesty 
on this material,  so that collectors could come forward with the 
stuff without fear that it was a troll to nail them for piracy. I 
intend to look at the CP/M 2.2 and 3.0 source files. People who have 
been interested in an ADAMserve version of TDOS will have to hope  
that  the CP/M sources are in a better  state  of  internal 
organization  than the TDOS sources (which IMHO are totally  non- 
maintainable), which would allow me to port CP/M to ADAMserve.
